USER MANUAL
Please Read This Notice
Successful application of this module requires a reasonable working knowledge of the Rockwell Automation
CompactLogix or MicroLogix hardware, the MVI69-DNP Module and the application in which the combination is to be
used. For this reason, it is important that those responsible for implementation satisfy themselves that the
combination will meet the needs of the application without exposing personnel or equipment to unsafe or
inappropriate working conditions.
This manual is provided to assist the user. Every attempt has been made to ensure that the information provided is
accurate and a true reflection of the product's installation requirements. In order to ensure a complete understanding
of the operation of the product, the user should read all applicable Rockwell Automation documentation on the
operation of the Rockwell Automation hardware.
Under no conditions will ProSoft Technology be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting
from the use or application of the product.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission from ProSoft Technology
is prohibited.
Information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of
ProSoft Technology Improvements and/or changes in this manual or the product may be made at any time. These
changes will be made periodically to correct technical inaccuracies or typographical errors.
Battery Life Advisory
All modules in the MVI series use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to backup the 512K SRAM
memory, real-time clock, and CMOS. The battery should last for the life of the module.
The module must be powered for approximately twenty hours before it becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged,
the battery provides backup power for the CMOS setup and configuration data, the real-time clock, and the 512K
SRAM memory for approximately 21 days.
Before you remove a module from its power source, ensure that the battery within the module is fully charged. A fully
charged battery will hold the BIOS settings (after being removed from its power source) for a limited number of days.
When the battery is fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS settings.
Note: The battery is not user replaceable.

Setting Jumpers
When the module is manufactured, the port selection jumpers are set to RS-232.
To use RS-422 or RS-485, you must set the jumpers to the correct position. The
following diagram describes the jumper settings.
The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module's flash memory. In
"write protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module's
firmware cannot be overwritten. Do not jumper the Setup pins together unless
you are directed to do so by ProSoft Technical Support.

Configuration File
The MVI69-DNP module stores its configuration in a text file called DNP.CFG,
located in the module's flash memory. When the module starts up, it reads the
configuration file and uses the information to control how the DNP 3.0
Master/Slave protocol interacts with the module's application port(s).
The configuration file is arranged in Sections, with a heading in [ ] characters at
the beginning of each section. Each Section contains a list of Parameters and
Values, followed by an optional Comment that explains the parameter.
The following illustration shows an example of a Section, a Parameter, a Value,
and a Comment.
The Parameter must be followed by a [:] (colon) character. The text following the
[:] is a Value.
The module ignores "comment" text following the [#] character. Use comments to
document your configuration settings.
You can get a sample configuration file for the module in the following places:

number of events.
0 to 65534
DNP destination address where unsolicited response
messages are sent.
0 to 255 retries Determines the number of unsolicited message retries
sent on primary DNP port before changing to
secondary port. If the value is 0, port switching will be
disabled.
Yes or No
This parameter sets if the analog input events
generated by the module will include the date and time
of the event. If the parameter is set to No, the default is
set to no time data. If the parameter is set to Yes, the
default object will include the time of the event.
Yes or No
This parameter determines if events are to be
generated by the module before the time
synchronization from the master unit. If the parameter
is set to No, no events will be generated until the
module's time has been synchronized. If the parameter
is set to Yes, events will always be generated.
Y or N
This parameter determines if the module will request
data from the processor to initialize the DNP database
output data areas. If this option is utilized, ladder logic
is required to send the requested block from the
processor to the module.
Y or N
Used for backwards compatibility with older MVI69DNP modules, will cause Trip/Close operations to use

permitted in this field for a set of special commands.
2.4.3 Variation
This parameter is specific to the object type selected.
2.4.4 Function
This parameter specifies the DNP function for the command list object. The
object type determines the value of the functions permitted. For example, the
only function permitted for binary input data points is the read function (Function
Code 1). For counter and output objects, more functions are available.
2.4.5 Address In Slave
This value must be greater-than or equal to zero. If it is set to a value less-than
zero, the command will be ignored. This parameter specifies the starting point
address to consider in the IED unit.
2.4.6 Point Count
This parameter defines the number of points in the IED unit. Refer to the
discussion above for the interpretation of this parameter's values for the different
object types.
2.4.7 DNP DB Address
This parameter defines the starting location in the DNP database to be used with
the command. If the parameter has a value of -1, the DNP database is not used
with the point.

Ladder logic is required for application of the MVI69-DNP module. Tasks that
must be handled by the ladder logic are module data transfer, special block
handling and status data receipt. Additionally, a power-up handler may be
needed to handle the initialization of the module's data and to clear any
processor fault conditions.
The sample ladder logic, on the ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM, is extensively
commented, to provide information on the purpose and function of each rung. For
most applications, the sample ladder will work without modification.

All data related to the MVI69-DNP is stored in two user defined data types. One
contains the status data and the other contains the DNP and IED datasets. Two
structures were used for ease of use. Any time an array's size is altered in the
RSLogix 5000 software, all the data in the object is set to zero. Because the
array sizes may need to be adjusted for the data types in an application, this data
is placed in a separate object.
An instance of each data type is required before the module can be used. This is
accomplished by declaring variables of the data types in the Controller Tags Edit
Tags dialog box. Each object is discussed in the following topics:
3.1.1 DNPModuleDef Object
The DNPModuleDef object contains all the MVI69-DNP module status data. The
structure of the object is displayed in the following example:

Reading Status Data from the Module
The MVI69-DNP module returns a Status Data block that can be used to
determine the module's operating status. This data is located in the module's
database at a user set location. For a complete listing of the status data object,
refer to the Reference chapter. The Configuration/Debug port provides the

4.1.1 The Configuration/Debug Menu
The Configuration and Debug menu for this module is arranged as a tree
structure, with the Main Menu at the top of the tree, and one or more sub-menus
for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the
module is the Main menu.
Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the
command letter from your computer keyboard in the terminal application (for
example, HyperTerminal). The module does not respond to mouse movements
or clicks. The command executes as soon as you press the command letter —
you do not need to press [Enter]. When you type a command letter, a new
screen will be displayed in your terminal application.

Navigation
All of the sub-menus for this module contain commands to redisplay the menu or
return to the previous menu. You can always return from a sub-menu to the next
higher menu by pressing [M] on your keyboard.
The organization of the menu structure is represented in simplified form in the
following illustration:
The remainder of this section shows you the menus available for this module,
and briefly discusses the commands available to you.
Keystrokes
The keyboard commands on these menus are almost always non-case sensitive.
You can enter most commands in lower case or capital letters.
The menus use a few special characters ([?], [-], [+], [@]) that must be entered
exactly as shown. Some of these characters will require you to use the [Shift],
[Ctrl] or [Alt] keys to enter them correctly. For example, on US English
keyboards, enter the [?] command as [Shift][/].
Also, take care to distinguish capital letter [I] from lower case letter [l] (L) and
number [1]; likewise for capital letter [O] and number [0]. Although these
characters look nearly the same on the screen, they perform different actions on
the module.
4.1.2 Required Hardware
You can connect directly from your computer's serial port to the serial port on the
module to view configuration information, perform maintenance, and send
(upload) or receive (download) configuration files.
ProSoft Technology recommends the following minimum hardware to connect
your computer to the module:
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
80486 based processor (Pentium preferred)
1 megabyte of memory
At least one UART hardware-based serial communications port available.

4.1.3 Required Software
In order to send and receive data over the serial port (COM port) on your
computer to the module, you must use a communication program (terminal
emulator).
A simple communication program called HyperTerminal is pre-installed with
recent versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. If you are connecting
from a machine running DOS, you must obtain and install a compatible
communication program. The following table lists communication programs that
have been tested by ProSoft Technology.

HyperTerminal
The module uses the Ymodem file transfer protocol to send (upload) and receive
(download) configuration files from your module. If you use a communication
program that is not on the list above, please be sure that it supports Ymodem file
transfers.
4.1.4 Using the Configuration/Debug Port
To connect to the module's Configuration/Debug port:

3
4
Verify that the null modem cable is connected properly between your
computer's serial port and the module. A regular serial cable will not work.
Verify that RSLinx is not controlling the COM port. Refer to Disabling the
RSLinx Driver for the Com Port on the PC (page 90).
Verify that your communication software is using the correct settings for baud
rate, parity and handshaking.
On computers with more than one serial port, verify that your communication
program is connected to the same port that is connected to the module.
If you are still not able to establish a connection, you can contact ProSoft
Technology Technical Support for further assistance.

Functional Overview
This section provides an overview of how the MVI69-DNP module transfers data
using the DNP protocol. You should understand the important concepts in this
chapter before you begin installing and configuring the module.
5.2.1 General Concepts
The following discussion explains several concepts that are important for
understanding the operation of the MVI69-DNP module.
Module Power Up
On power up the module begins performing the following logical functions:
1
Initialize hardware components.
o Initialize CompactLogix or MicroLogix backplane driver.
o Test and Clear all RAM.
o Initialize the serial communication ports.
o Initialize the TCP/IP stack and Ethernet interface.
2
Read module configuration from DNP.CFG file on Compact Flash disk or
Flash RAM (depending on hardware configuration).
Initialize the Module Register Space.
Enable Client and/or Server driver on selected ports, as configured.
3
4
When this initialization procedure is complete, the module will begin
communicating with other nodes on the network, depending on the configuration.
Main Logic Loop
Upon completing the power up configuration process, the module enters an
infinite loop that performs the following functions:

MVI69-DNP ♦ CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform
DNP 3.0 Master/Slave Communication Module
Backplane Data Transfer
The MVI69-DNP module communicates directly over the CompactLogix or
MicroLogix backplane. Data is paged between the module and the CompactLogix
processor across the backplane using the module's input and output images. The
update frequency of the images is determined by the scheduled scan rate
defined by the user for the module and the communication load on the module.
Typical updates are in the range of 2 to 10 milliseconds.
The data is paged between the processor and the module using input and output
image blocks.
This bi-directional transference of data is accomplished by the module filling in
data in the module's input image to send to the processor. Data in the input
image is placed in the Controller Tags in the processor by the ladder logic. The
input image for the module may be set to 62 words.
The processor inserts data to the module's output image to transfer to the
module. The module's program extracts the data and places it in the module's
internal database. The output image for the module may be set to 61 words.
The following illustration shows the data transfer method used to move data
between the CompactLogix processor, the MVI69-DNP module and the DNP
network.
All data transferred between the module and the processor over the backplane is
through the input and output images. Ladder logic must be written in the
CompactLogix processor to interface the block data with user data files. All data
used by the module is stored in its internal database. The following illustration
shows the layout of the database:

described in the following topics.
Note: Block identification codes -1 and -2 are dummy blocks. The PLC should ignore any blocks
with these numbers as data does not represent any valid information in the module. The DNP
application will ignore any write blocks with these numbers.
5.2.2 Normal Data Transfer
Normal data transfer includes the paging of the user data found in the module's
internal database in registers 0 to 4999 and the status data. These data are
transferred through read (input image) and write (output image) blocks. The
structure and function of each block is discussed in the following topics.
The block transfer numbers are fixed in the program for each DNP data type for
this application. Block numbers are assigned by the application based on the
number of points of each type. The application only allocates the number of
blocks required to hold the data point count specified. For example, if 200 digital
input points are required for the application, only block 0 is allocated and if 150
counter points are required, blocks 16 to 20 are defined. These are separate data
areas for the DNP data used by the PLC and the data used by attached IED units
that are not part of the DNP database in the module. Each block transfers 60
word-size registers.

These blocks are mapped into a pre-defined memory area in the module.
Pointers into the memory area are computed by the application for each data
type. The application will only copy the portion of the block that contains valid
data.

read data. Each transfer can move up to 60 words (block offsets 0 to 61) of data.
The Write Block ID associated with the block requests data from the
CompactLogix processor. Under normal, program operation, the module
sequentially sends read blocks and requests write blocks. For example, if three
read and two write blocks are used with the application, the sequence will be as
follows:

5.2.3 Command Control Blocks
Command control blocks are special blocks used to control the module or
request special data from the module. The current version of the software
supports several command control blocks, each of which are discussed in the
following topics.
Block 9901 - Event Command
This block issues one or more command control requests to slaves attached to
the DNP master port for object 12 data. When the module receives a block 9901
identification code, it places the included commands into the command queue.

device. The operation of each port is dependent on this configuration.
The following topics discuss the operation of these drivers.
Slave Driver
The Slave Driver mode allows the MVI69-DNP module to respond to data read
and write commands issued by a Master on the DNP network. The following flow
chart and associated table describe the flow of data into and out of the module.

Description
The slave port driver receives the configuration information from the configuration file.
This information configures the serial port and define the slave node characteristics.
Additionally, the configuration information contains data that can be used to offset data in
the database to addresses requested in messages received from master units.
A host device (DNP Master Unit) issues a read or write command to the module's node
address. The port driver qualifies the message before accepting it into the module.
After the module accepts the command, the data is immediately transferred to or from
the internal database in the module. If the command is a read command, the data is read
out of the database and a response message is built. If the command is a write
command, the data is written directly into the database and a response message is built.
After the data processing has been completed in Step 3, the response is issued to the
originating master node.
Counters are available in the Status Block that permit the ladder logic program to
determine the level of activity of the Slave Driver.

Master Driver Mode
In the Master mode, the MVI69-DNP module is responsible for issuing read or
write commands to slave devices on the DNP network. These commands are
user-configured in the module via the Master Command List received from the
processor or issued directly from the processor (command control). Command
status is returned to the processor for each individual command in the command
list status block. The following flow chart and associated table describe the flow
of data into and out of the module.

Step
Description
1
The Master driver obtains configuration data from the configuration file. The configuration
data obtained includes the Master Slave and Command Lists. These values are used by
the Master driver to determine the type of commands to be issued to other nodes on the
DNP network.
2
After configuration, the Master driver begins transmitting read and/or write commands to
the other nodes on the network. If writing data to another node, the data for the write
command is obtained from the module's internal database to build the command.
3
Presuming successful processing by the node specified in the command, a response
message is received into the Master driver for processing.
4
Data received from the node on the network is passed into the module's internal
database, assuming a read command.
5
Status data is returned to the CompactLogix processor for each command in the Master
Command List.
Refer to the Installing and Configuring the Module section for a complete
description of the parameters required to define the virtual DNP Master port.

Cable Connections
The application ports on the MVI69-DNP module support RS-232, RS-422, and
RS-485 interfaces. Please inspect the module to ensure that the jumpers are set
correctly to correspond with the type of interface you are using.
Note: When using RS-232 with radio modem applications, some radios or modems require
hardware handshaking (control and monitoring of modem signal lines). Enable this in the
configuration of the module by setting the UseCTS parameter to 1.
5.3.1 RS-232 Configuration/Debug Port
This port is physically an RJ45 connection. An RJ45 to DB-9 adapter cable is
included with the module. This port permits a PC based terminal emulation
program to view configuration and status data in the module and to control the
module. The cable for communications on this port is shown in the following
diagram:

Disabling the RSLinx Driver for the Com Port on the PC
The communication port driver in RSLinx can occasionally prevent other
applications from using the PC's COM port. If you are not able to connect to the
module's configuration/debug port using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB),
HyperTerminal or another terminal emulator, follow these steps to disable the
RSLinx Driver.

Upon seeing this, you may now use that com port to connect to the debug
port of the module.
Note: You may need to shut down and restart your PC before it will allow you to stop the driver
(usually only on Windows NT machines). If you have followed all of the above steps, and it will not
stop the driver, then make sure you do not have RSLogix open. If RSLogix is not open, and you
still cannot stop the driver, then reboot your PC.
5.3.2 RS-232
When the RS-232 interface is selected, the use of hardware handshaking
(control and monitoring of modem signal lines) is user definable. If no hardware
handshaking will be used, the cable to connect to the port is as shown below:

5.3.4 RS-485
The RS-485 interface requires a single two or three wire cable. The Common
connection is optional and dependent on the RS-485 network. The cable required
for this interface is shown below:
Note: Terminating resistors are generally not required on the RS-485 network, unless you are
experiencing communication problems that can be attributed to signal echoes or reflections. In this
case, install a 120 ohm terminating resistor on the RS-485 line.
RS-485 and RS-422 Tip
If communication in the RS-422/RS-485 mode does not work at first, despite all
attempts, try switching termination polarities. Some manufacturers interpret +/and A/B polarities differently.

Description
0
All stations message received. Set when a request is received with the destination
address set to 0xffff. Cleared after next response. Used to let master station know
broadcast received.
1
Class 1 data available. Set when class 1 data is ready to be sent from the slave to
the master. Master should request class 1 data when this bit is set.
2
Class 2 data available. Set when class 2 data is ready to be sent from the slave to
the master. Master should request class 2 data when this bit is set.
3
Class 3 data available. Set when class 3 data is ready to be sent from the slave to
the master. Master should request class 3 data when this bit is set.
4
Time synchronization required from master. The master should write the date and
time when this bit is set. After receiving the write command the bit will be cleared.
5
Slave digital outputs are in local control. This bit is not used in this application.
6

7
Device restart. This bit is set when the slave either warm or cold boots. It is cleared
after a master writes a 0 to the bit.
5.5.2 Second Byte:
Bit
Description
0
Bad function code. The function code contained in the master request is not
supported for the specified object/variation.
1
Requested object(s) unknown. Object requested by master is not supported by the
application.
2
Parameters in the qualifier, range or data fields are not valid or out of range for the
slave.
3
Event buffer(s) or other application buffers have overflowed. This bit is also set if the
slave receives a multi-frame message from the master.
4
Request understood but requested operation is already executing. The slave will
never set this bit.
5
Bad configuration. The slave configuration is invalid and should be re-configured. If
the configuration is invalid, the slave will set the invalid parameters to default values
and continue to run. Check error log using debug port.

Notable objects, functions, and/or qualifiers supported in addition to the highest DNP level stated above (see attached
table for complete list):
Definition of selected IIN bits: Configuration Error - User specified point or event count is too high for application (can only
correct by changing configuration in PLC).
Support for a redundant slave port on the module which may be attached to a dial-up modem is provided. Auto switching
is provided by the module to switch between the primary and secondary ports.
The following features are configurable on the module: Collision avoidance, time sync before events are generated and
default analog input events, Obj32V4 or O32V2, select option.
Events generated by IED units attached to a master port may pass their events directly to the slave port. These events
may not occur in the correct time sequence. They are placed in the event buffer as the module receives them. This
provides the greatest time resolution for remote events.
Module will not generate events until Restart IIN bit is cleared by DNP master except for events passed through module
from attached IED units.

b) In the event that the Customer experiences a problem with the Product for
any reason, Customer should contact ProSoft Technical Support at one of

be the source of the problem, we will issue an RMA.

shipping container or equivalent, to the location specified by ProSoft, and

returned to the Customer, freight collect. Contact ProSoft Technical
Support for further information.
d) A 10% restocking fee applies to all warranty credit returns whereby a
Customer has an application change, ordered too many, does not need,

Support, Service & Warranty
LIMITED WARRANTY
This Limited Warranty ("Warranty") governs all sales of hardware, software and
other products (collectively, "Product") manufactured and/or offered for sale by
ProSoft, and all related services provided by ProSoft, including maintenance,
repair, warranty exchange, and service programs (collectively, "Services"). By
purchasing or using the Product or Services, the individual or entity purchasing or
using the Product or Services ("Customer") agrees to all of the terms and
provisions (collectively, the "Terms") of this Limited Warranty. All sales of
software or other intellectual property are, in addition, subject to any license
agreement accompanying such software or other intellectual property.
6.3.1 What Is Covered By This Warranty
a) Warranty On New Products: ProSoft warrants, to the original purchaser,
that the Product that is the subject of the sale will (1) conform to and
perform in accordance with published specifications prepared, approved
and issued by ProSoft, and (2) will be free from defects in material or
workmanship; provided these warranties only cover Product that is sold as
new. This Warranty expires three years from the date of shipment (the
"Warranty Period"). If the Customer discovers within the Warranty Period
a failure of the Product to conform to specifications, or a defect in material
or workmanship of the Product, the Customer must promptly notify
ProSoft by fax, email or telephone. In no event may that notification be
received by ProSoft later than 39 months. Within a reasonable time after
notification, ProSoft will correct any failure of the Product to conform to
specifications or any defect in material or workmanship of the Product,
with either new or used replacement parts. Such repair, including both
parts and labor, will be performed at ProSoft's expense. All warranty
service will be performed at service centers designated by ProSoft.
b) Warranty On Services: Materials and labor performed by ProSoft to repair
a verified malfunction or defect are warranteed in the terms specified
above for new Product, provided said warranty will be for the period
remaining on the original new equipment warranty or, if the original
warranty is no longer in effect, for a period of 90 days from the date of
repair.
6.3.2 What Is Not Covered By This Warranty
a) ProSoft makes no representation or warranty, expressed or implied, that
the operation of software purchased from ProSoft will be uninterrupted or
error free or that the functions contained in the software will meet or
satisfy the purchaser's intended use or requirements; the Customer
assumes complete responsibility for decisions made or actions taken
based on information obtained using ProSoft software.

b) This Warranty does not cover the failure of the Product to perform
specified functions, or any other non-conformance, defects, losses or
damages caused by or attributable to any of the following: (i) shipping; (ii)
improper installation or other failure of Customer to adhere to ProSoft's
specifications or instructions; (iii) unauthorized repair or maintenance; (iv)

programming (including, but not limited to, programs developed with any
IEC 61131-3, "C" or any variant of "C" programming languages) not
furnished by ProSoft; (v) use of the Product for purposes other than those
for which it was designed; (vi) any other abuse, misapplication, neglect or
misuse by the Customer; (vii) accident, improper testing or causes
external to the Product such as, but not limited to, exposure to extremes
of temperature or humidity, power failure or power surges; or (viii)
disasters such as fire, flood, earthquake, wind and lightning.
c) The information in this Agreement is subject to change without notice.

made herein; nor for incidental or consequential damages resulting from
the furnishing, performance or use of this material. The user guide

Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless ProSoft and its employees from and
against all liabilities, losses, claims, costs and expenses (including attorney's
